Six String Surprises
Richard Thompson is one of Britain's most respected singer/songwriters. His music combines elements of English and American folk with rock guitar virtuosity. His songs, dealing frequently with tales of woefully doomed romance, conceal mordant wit. He is a modern-day minstrel and a Sufi thinker whose career stretches back 25 years to the age of 17, when he first found fame as guitarist with the electric folk band Fairport Convention. In tonight's programme, Thompson picks over his life and music with the aid of an acoustic guitar in the company of John de Bono. Producer Anthony Denselow
